Vintage SciFi Month

From Redhead at Little Red Reviewer:

Throughout the month of January, 2012,2013, 2014, 2015,
2016 I will be reading and discussing as much “older than I am” science
fiction and fantasy that I can, and everyone is invited to join me!
We’ll be talking about time travel, laser guns, early robotics, first
contact, swords and sorcery, predictions for humanity and the authors
who came up with it all. Haphazardly, the defining year for “vintage” is
1979. Read all about it here, here, and here and most recently here. The only “rule” for this not-a-challenge is that your blog post must be during the month of January.

You too, can be on red alert for the Interstellar Patrol by using the
badge above in your posts, or blog side bar, or wherever you’d like. To Join: Go to the Vintage SciFi Not-a-Challenge site.

What Qualifies:Anything or anyone who created science fiction, or something
speculative fiction-ish that was published (or recorded, or put on TV or
the silver screen) before 1979. It can be hard scifi, or not. Have
aliens, or not. Fantasy is OK too. Jules Verne is perfect, so is Mary
Shelley. Or maybe War of the Worlds, original Star Trek, C.L. Moore,
Isaac Asimov, Andre Norton, Cordwainer Smith, Clifford Simak, Ursula K.
LeGuin, Kurt Vonnegut, James Tiptree Jr, A.E. van Vogt, Frank Herbert, I
can go on forever here.

I am in for another round. As in the past, my commitment will be at least two science fiction reads in January.
